Blueberry Overnight Oats

These Blueberry Overnight Oats are made with a blend of coconut and almond milk for a sweet, refreshing, and creamy grab-n-go breakfast.

I’m doing something a little bit crazy…

I’m giving up coffee for the next 3 weeks.

For the past year and a half, shortly after my divorce was finalized, I started dealing with some minor health issues that, I believe, were stress-induced. Trying to get to the bottom of these health concerns have taken me down more rabbit holes than I can count. I have been to primary doctors, dermatologists, and naturopaths. I have gone on extreme elimination diets, quite drinking, changed my birth control, taken a pharmacy of herbs and supplements, and taken up yoga and meditation. Despite everything I’ve tried, I have not found the answers to my ailments.

And so, after all that, I decided to make the ultimate sacrifice…coffee.

The truth is, I have a bit of a coffee problem. Most days I substitute black coffee for breakfast which, turns out, is terrible for someone already dealing with the chronic stress of post-divorce life/single parenting. So along with my commitment to give up coffee, I’m also making a commitment to eat breakfast EVERY DAY. In order to make this happen I have been relying on 3 simple breakfasts:

And today I bring you a recipe for my current favorite breakfast: Blueberry Overnight Oats

These Blueberry Overnight Oats are rich, creamy, and filled with fresh berries.

It’s truly like eating dessert for breakfast. And, better yet, there’s no prep time! Just mix them up the night before (this takes 5 minutes) and store them in easy grab-n-go airtight containers for easy breakfasts throughout the week.

I know that giving up coffee may not find me the answers I seek, but making the change to eat breakfast, rather than substituting it with coffee, will have lasting beneficial effects. And to that, I lift up my empty coffee mug and say, “Cheers!”

I have a new favorite breakfast everyone! Overnight oats made with blueberries, coconut milk, almond extract, and sprinkle with some sliced raw almonds and shredded coconut. Oh my! Actually, I could probably eat this for lunch to and even dinner – especially on a hot humid Buffalo, NY summer day.

Great recipe! I used it as a guide to come up with a slightly different version and it turned out great! I used quick steel cut oats instead of rolled oats and used Orgain Protein Almond vanilla almond milk as my milk alternative, additionally I used almond extract instead of vanilla, and agave nectar in place of the maple. Thank you for your recipe, can’t wait to try more!

Hi! I love this recipe and it’s saved me on days when I need to whip up a quick healthy breakfast 🙂 I’ve shared this recipe with my Facebook group since they were looking for quick recipes and wanted to tag you in the post but couldn’t find you on Facebook. Do you have a Facebook page? My group is https://www.facebook.com/groups/lifestyles.fit.fabulous/ if you want to check it out!

This is my new favorite breakfast. So quick to make the night before. And since its blueberry picking season, I have plenty of fresh blueberries. Also love your blueberry muffin recipe. and your barbecue chickpea pizza recipe,…..

Really great recipe! I’ve made overnight oats before without chia seeds and it was awful. I’m glad I found your recipe because it’s really good and I look forward to eating it! It’s also super easy to make. I added a pinch of cinnamon bc I’m obsessed and used all almond milk only bc I didn’t have both on hand. I usually buy a almond/coconut blend, gonna try that next. Thanks for the recipe!!! The ratios are perfect and tastes amazing!

I also suffered from stress and ended up with ovarian cysts – and decided to cut out coffee to not put such a stress on my adrenals and it was worth a try…it was difficult but I did it and after 2 ultrasounds – No more cysts! I am not sure if this is coincidence – but even my Doctor was shocked as I had a cluster of cysts on my left ovary and on my right…wondering how you did giving up coffee and if it helped your ailments! Looking forward to trying this recipe as I am often running to work without breakfast and I need to get back to a routine of making time for me in the busy mornings!

Wow! I’m glad the cysts went away. I’ve read a lot about what coffee can do to a body since quitting and it would not surprise me at all if those two things were related for you! Thanks for sharing your story.

Loved this recipe! This was my first time trying overnight oats and I was totally happy with it. I put chia seeds in basically everything so it was neat that they were included in this recipe. I added some strawberries to my second jar which made it a little sweeter. I’m still trying to convince myself that I like blueberries; I never did as a kid. This was the first time I actually enjoyed eating them! Great recipe! Simple, easy, and delicious.
